Stereotype 
Exhaustion 
Nicole Pagowsky LIS590DU Guest Lecture
A couple of minutes after the dawn of librarianship two 
librarians started worrying about what other people 
thought of them. They were suffering from what might 
be called “reverse narcissism.” They did not so much 
want to dive into the pond as flee from the ugly sight it 
reflected (Fisher, 1993). 
As cited in Pagowsky & DeFrain, 2014

The Unbearable 
Whiteness of 
Librarianship 
via Chris Bourg @ 
chrisbourg.wordpress.com 
March 3, 2014 
“For a profession that claims diversity 
as a core value and declares that ‘We 
value our nation’s diversity and strive 
to reflect that diversity by providing a 
full spectrum of resources and 
services to the communities we serve’ 
to be so lacking in diversity is 
embarrassing.” 
Nicole Pagowsky LIS590DU Guest Lecture
More depressing 
numbers…

February 22, 2014 
*See blog for links to original sources 
 via Andromeda Yelton @ 
andromedayelton.com 
September 17, 2014 
*Looking specifically at keynotes 
“Librarianship in general is 80% 
female, while only 58% of 
directors of ARL libraries are 
female.” 
“At national-scale US/Canadian 
library conferences: 
43% of speakers are female 
74% of speakers are white, 14% 
black, 7% Asian, 4% [Latin@]”
